Its not just a comparison chart...it could be an online order form for a custom KAQ! Its just missing the "in stock" and "full...3/4...1/2 UQ" sizes for each hammock. I'm keeping my eye on this thread!

Just a note here, but I think the weight of the HH includes the tarp; I don't think the weight for the WB includes a tarp.

You are right about that. Anyone know the weights of each stock fly?

Good idea, but I don't see that happening. Each KAQ is made to order. I did put this together so that I could see if there was a commonality between gathered end hammocks with regard to length and width.

I've always felt like I'm too big for my Heresy Hammock, even though it is comfy.

I was surprised as well. Probably includes the material of the sewn on panels I'd guess.

scroll down and you will find the "canopy" cart with fly weights listed.

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Shelf, flatness of lay, customer service, webbing option, side-entry, ability to throw bug net over ridgeline, and of course....the cool kid factor.
Probably more, just off the top of my head; where my hair used to be.

You're referring to the Blackbonnet here? Have you ever tried an ENO so as to be able to compare these two hammocks in terms of the "flatness of lay"? I have an ENO doublenest and I'm not sure I dig it....one reason being its too wide, whereas I'm pretty sure I'd get to tossing and flip outa the siglenest....apparently I can't be still regardless of where or in what I sleep. lol

Yep! I posted this in another thread a while back, but basically I can get just as flat in my parachute doubles. The difference is the ease that I can do it in the Blackbird (I like Blackbonnet ). The BB also does not produce the vertical walls of material that the parachute hammocks do when going hard diagonal. I also like the fact that my feet don't 'flop' out of the hammock when I shift. Don't get me wrong, I love my parachute hammocks and think they are probably the most versatile style of hammock (camping, lounging, home sleeping, etc.) out there. But, for a camping/hiking specific hammock the BB takes the cake in my book. It makes comfort easy; set-up and sleep.
